War Drama, Romance?

DVD
D+

The "romance" in this was both tedious and cringey, so I was actually waiting for them to get back to the war.  Then there was a twist, so D+ rather than D or D-.  This is based on Robb White's novel and directed by Gordon Douglas.

Drama

C-

I tuned out before Marilyn showed up, although I did laugh at Alan Hale, Jr. ordering in a restaurant, since it was a proto-Skipper moment.  Arthur Pierson wrote and directed.
